Dystopia 26: The Rock Opera

Beldon HaighSemi-professional company

110 minutesBedlam Theatre
A five-star, two part, immersive political satire and electrifying rock spectacle. You’re not just an audience – you’re a Dystopian, summoned to join a state “Dystopiation” event where you will vote. From martial law to election to a glittering new cult of happiness, this two-part odyssey skewers power, greed and propaganda with monstrous masks, biting lyrics and a ferocious live band. Performed as if from prison by disgraced spin doctor Beldon Haigh and arsonist Helen Raiser, it’s bold, provocative and unexpectedly human – a defiant, beacon of hope.
